Our sales advisors often get asked ‘can you put a toilet in my garden building?’ While Crane Garden Buildings don’t offer plumbing services, we can add the necessary partitions into your building design to allow you or your plumber to add what you need post-installation. It will be relatively straightforward for a plumber to fit a shower room or toilet as the FSC® certified timber we use to craft our garden buildings is easy to drill through. Your plumber will then be able to recommend the best solution for getting a water supply to your building and getting you connected to a sewerage system. As well as adding partitions for toilets, we are able to add partitions to give you additional storage space or create additional rooms inside your building so you can use it for different purposes at the same time. We also offer electrical installation so your building can have power and lighting. This will enable your garden office with toilet to have sockets for your laptop charger, your garden gym can have electrical equipment such as a treadmill, and your hobby room can have plenty of light to aid you with your crafting. For more details about how we get you connected, please see our how to get electricity into your garden building article. Whether you are looking for a pool house, garden office, hobby room, garden gym or entertainment space, we have styles to suit every taste in our garden rooms collection. After selecting what style of building you would like, you can then tailor it to your needs with our range of interior and exterior design options as each of our buildings are hand-made to order inside our Norfolk factory. If you would like to discuss your garden rooms project with us, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. You can email sales@cranegardenbuildings.co.uk or you can give our HQ a call on. Our friendly advisors will be more than happy to help where they can and use their knowledge on our buildings to recommend the best garden room for your requirements.
